On behalf of the patients in our community’s hospitals, thank you! During the blood drive on Sept. 23, Puget Sound Blood Center registered 30 donors and collected 27 units of blood. This will benefit up to 51 patients.

Special thanks to Fritz Baesman for organizing the drive, the Lopez Island Lions Club for their assistance and blood drive sponsorship, and the Community Church for providing the blood drive site.

Each weekday, 900 people must donate blood to meet the needs of patients in western Washington hospitals. The Lopez Island blood drive continues to play an important role in helping to meet that goal.

The next blood drive on Lopez will be on Tuesday, Dec. 9. So mark your calendars now to be a part of this life-saving event.
